New River Community,
I am grateful to continue to lead New River Elementary school for the third year. Last year, our theme was “Time to Grow.” We focused on having a growth mindset, setting goals, and celebrating each small step while viewing mistakes as opportunities to learn. Our students thrived last year and the growth we saw academically and socially was amazing! We are going to continue our focus on growth mindset with this year’s theme, “The Power of Yet.” With our focus on growth, students acknowledge where their current skill levels are and they are informed of where their skills will grow to, using the language of “Yet.” For example, instead of saying, “I don’t understand this math concept,” they say “I don’t understand this math concept yet.” This shift in thinking helps students develop self-confidence through hope and a belief they can achieve their goals.
